Ratings and reviews

1st year was fine. Issues started a year ago, but I thought cos I have an old phone. Now new phone and tablet, but even after 45 min on the phone to Square, the app just comes up error, the website does too when I enter the verification code and the hardware won't pair. oh- and I can't order the replacement hardware as the one time I got into my account and the £0 payment was approved by my bank, Square came up error again. I have spent hours today trying to sort it out to no avail. Awful.

The system is fairly reliable- occasionally a glitch when you checkout a payment and then it looks like it has failed but on checking the transactions, it has actually worked!. I understand there are higher fees as no monthly terminal fee (but then you have already paid for the hardware) but I do think the %fees are very steep, particularly for a small business. For larger transactions I have to ask my customers for a bank transfer as otherwise the fee can make a huge dent in real profit.

loved this until your update which means my new phone is no longer able to connect to my reader! I spent 45 minutes on the phone to square help only to discover I have to use another device that I cannot afford to buy - really bad.... it was a great little app that covers all my payment needs as a small business, no fuss and simple to use with money in my account within 20 minutes, something other systems doesn't offer. NOT NOW
